Pickleball
Pickleball is the fastest-growing sport in America, and we’re excited to offer it on our beautiful 8th floor Gymnasium!
Pickleball is a fun and fast-paced game combining several classic games – badminton, tennis, and table tennis. It’s played on a badminton-sized court, with a tennis-like net that is 34 inches high and paddles similar to ping pong, only larger along with a whiffle ball. It is easy for beginners of all ages to learn but can develop into a quick, fast-paced, competitive game for experienced players. People of all ages and athletic abilities will find that pickleball is a fun sport with straightforward rules.
Grab a paddle and meet us on the court!

PICKLEBALL ROTATION ETIQUETTE
Paddles are placed in a single line and a “Next” indicator is used to identify the upcoming players. People play in the exact order in which the paddles were placed in the line.
- Games are 11 points, win by 2, each game determines the Winners and Runner Ups
- Paddles are always added farthest away from the “Next” selector in the following sequence Winners (W), Runner-Ups (RU), Arriving Players (AP)
PICKLEBALL SAFETY
